Episode 108 "Tabula Rasa" Summary

While patrolling the graveyard, Buffy stumbles upon
Spike who wants to talk about their kiss. As Buffy
explains that she doesn't care about it, she jumps on
Spike to help him avoid a flying stake. Across the
graveyard, a shark demon named Teeth and two vamp
henchmen appear. They claim that Spike owes them 40
Siamese kittens. After a short battle, Spike
disappears.

At Xander's apartment, the gang discusses bringing
Buffy back from a heavenly dimension. Willow informs
everyone that she can concoct a spell that will make
Buffy forget she was even there. At this point, Tara
gives Willow an ultimatum: She can't use magic for a
week, or Tara will leave her.

The next morning, Tara and Dawn wait for Willow, who
is dragging her feet getting ready. Frustrated, Tara
and Dawn leave. After they depart, Willow casts a
spell with a crystal and a Lethe's Bramble to make
Buffy forget about being in a heavenly dimension and
Tara forget about the fight.

The whole gang regroups at the Magic Box to find out
more about Teeth. Giles reveals that he is returning
to England indefinitely. As Buffy holds back her
tears, she and the entire gang pass out.

Later that night, the Scoobs all wake up with amnesia.
As they try and piece things together, Giles and Anya
decide that they are engaged. Spike thinks that his
name is Randy and that he is Giles' son. Buffy doesn't
know her name and dubs herself "Joan". Xander and
Willow think that they are a couple. Tara figures out
her name and that she is a student. Dawn doesn't
understand what is going on, but realizes that "Joan"
is her sister.

The gang decides to go to a hospital, but they are
shocked by two of Teeth's vamp henchmen waiting
outside. Xander finds the trap door in the store that
leads to the sewers. Suddenly, the vamps bust in.
Buffy dusts one of them while the other vamp escapes.
He returns with three more vamps and their leader,
Teeth. Buffy decides that she and Spike will take the
monsters on the run, while Anya and Giles try to break
the spell. Xander and the rest go through the sewers
to find a hospital.

Meanwhile, in the sewer, Dawn, Xander, Tara and Willow
try to find their way to the hospital. To their
surprise, there is another vamp hunting them down in
the tunnel. Back at the Box, Giles and Anya try
unsuccessfully to use magic. Mistakenly, Anya reads a
spell that makes white bunnies appear.

On the streets, Buffy tells Spike that he is a vamp.
Suddenly, Spike comes to the conclusion that he is a
noble vampire with a soul. "A vampire with a soul?!"
Buffy asks. "How lame is that?" However, she and Spike
decide to stand together against the forces of
darkness.

As the remaining Scoobs try to run and hide from the
vampire in the sewer, Giles and Anya fight with
bunnies, each other and all sorts of other crazy
things at the Magic Box.

While jumping to save Tara from the vampire, Willow
accidentally drops the magic crystal. After Giles
successfully dispels all of the badness at the Box, he
and Anya make up by embracing each other with a kiss.
Xander dusts a vampire and crushes the crystal. As a
result, the spell is broken.

As reality comes back into focus, Tara starts crying,
knowing that everything was caused by one of Willow's
spells. Stunned, Anya and Giles freak out mid-kiss and
try to act casual. Back in the battle zone, Buffy and
Spike finish off the vamps. Teeth, slightly
entertained and frightened, lets Spike off the hook.

The hellish day concludes with a montage. To Dawn's
tears, Tara packs her bags and leaves Willow. Giles
returns to England. Spike and Buffy desperately cling
to each other and smooch at the Bronze.
